Update on Registration Marketing
by J. P. 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

Hi All, As you may recall, about 2 ½ weeks ago we split the District in half and marketed the leagues in the north have (spent money on them), and had pretty decent results. Then about a week ago I did the same for the leagues in the south and west part of the District - The results are in for this round. The north out performed the southern part in terms of interactions with our Facebook page and Website. There were more conversations held with folks from the north part of the District than the south part. The reach was "fewer people" but the responses were more, and better quality. HOWEVER in the southern part the reach was about 2x what it was in the south and the click throughs to the website were over 700 clicks to the website from the advertising. Here are the stats for the south. 20-second Calls - 3 Views 16,540 (people who saw the advertising) Reach - 7,211 (People who interacted with the advertising) Activity - 6 (people I talked to) - posted back and forth Post engagement - 3 (people I had "chats" with) Sincerely, JP District Administrator (DA) Washington Little League - District 13 E: dadist13(a)wadist13ll.org<mailto:dadist13@wadist13ll.org> T:509-995-4200 http://www.wadist13ll.org Follow us on Facebook@wadist13ll [cid:image001.png@01DB6D62.26692850][cid:image002.jpg@01DB6D62.26692850]

T-Mobile and Little League share the belief that every child should have the chance to experience Little League, regardless of their financial or personal situation. Many families face financial constraints and economic challenges, which has made it difficult for their children to make their way on to a Little League field. However, Little League firmly believes that payment shouldn't be a prerequisite for participation and that it's important to find a way to allow children to play the game. Visit LittleLeague.org/CallUpGrant<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__click.email.littleleagu…> to learn more about the program and how families can apply. Financially challenged families in communities across the country with proof the child is currently receiving Medicaid benefits, SNAP or WIC may be eligible to receive a T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__click.email.littleleagu…>, so long as funding is available. Please note, documents will need to include the child's name and eligibility/issued dates (within the last 12 months or have a future expiration date) verifying their low-income status in order to complete the application. Physical cards for Medicaid, SNAP or WIC that do not provide current dates and the child's name will not be accepted. Families who are awarded grants, will have funds provided to them directly, to maintain confidentiality, via an electronic debit card with restricted use only for registration fees. [5. Register with Local League] To provide a more equitable and successful experience with the T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant we’ve implemented a 21 day application window beginning January 16, 2025 through February 5, 2025. Each day, the application will open at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time) and close when the daily limit of 650 applications has been reached. For more information regarding this submission window, and other program changes for the 2025 season, please visit the Support Portal<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__click.email.littleleagu…>. If families have already paid and registered for the 2025 season, they should work with their league to have their payment reimbursed. League officers can visit the program’s Support Portal<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__click.email.littleleagu…> for additional resources on how they can help assist these families by refunding or modifying payments.

Registration and ASAP
by J. P. 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hi All, Two things... 1. The new marketing/advertising for Registrations for the "other leagues" started on Tuesday 1/14. We have seen about 2000 ad impressions in the area we are marketing to since the campaigns started (it means 2000 folks have seen the advertising for registration for your leagues - that doesn't mean we have talked to 2000 people)... the leagues being promoted this go around are Liberty Lake, South Hill, West Plains, and Bi-County. (Last week we did Tri-County, Pend Orielle, North Spokane and a tad bit of Bi-County). I have answered 4 inquiries since yesterday (started responding this morning). Most are for West Plains and South Hill. The marketing will run until the 21st. Then we will start the next round. You can support this effort by keeping your websites fresh, and posting daily on Facebook, Instagram, or whatever social media you are working with about registrations. Keep it fresh... 2. ASAP plans need to be turned in... If we get them in BEFORE APRIL 1 the District gets a $600 credit with Little League. We use this to pay for banners, pins, promotional materials, etc. PLEASE GET YOUR ASAP PLANS IN! If you don't know what that is, or don't have a safety officer, then please contact myself or Stacy for help. There are templates on the LL Website for this. Keep going and don't stop. You all are doing good with your leagues... keep the awareness up in your communities. Sincerely, JP District Administrator (DA) Washington Little League - District 13 E: dadist13(a)wadist13ll.org<mailto:dadist13@wadist13ll.org> T:509-995-4200 http://www.wadist13ll.org Follow us on Facebook@wadist13ll [cid:image003.png@01DB6738.13228320][cid:image004.jpg@01DB6738.13228320]

District 13 results for registration advertising
by J. P. 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

Hi All, We have done almost 5 days of advertising for registrations for the Leagues in District 13. I think we are doing pretty good. So far we have seen almost 200 page likes on a generic youth sports group from a post we did there... on Facebook and our Facebook page (all combined). We have had 131 website visits to the District 13 website. Of the direct inquires I have received (To which I have been giving out the president's phone number and links to the registration websites I have). Keep in mind, these are people that are INTERACTING with us. This does not include everyone who sees the advertising and goes to your registrations website without interacting with us. Deer Park - 4 Pend Orielle - 1 North Spokane - 9 South Hill - 2 West Plains - 0 Bi-County - 0 Liberty Lake -0 This is what I expected for West Plains, Liberty Lake, and South Hill since we didn't market to them (yet). We have had two inquiries about Challenger Division which I sent over to South Hill - (I am telling the people to go there)... I have forwarded those to South Hill as they were the closest league to them that had Challenger division. We really need more Challenger opportunities... I think there are a lot of people out there that would take advantage if we had those programs in every league. I had to send them to South Hill because the leagues in between them and South Hill didn't offer Challenger. We have gotten all but two of these inquiries from Facebook/Instagram . A couple have emailed directly from other advertising. The district so far has spent about $800 since November promoting the Umpire Clinic coming up in March, The Leagues in general, and of that $800 about $200 has been spent directly on Registrations since Jan 1. I am pleased with the amount of Likes we are getting, and requests to follow the District Facebook page(s). Website traffic is looking good. The numbers show a growing awareness of Little League in the area and 99% of the comments being left are extraordinarily favorable. We have had only one negative comment posted and that's from someone who has involvement in the youth sports program in Omak. They didn't want Little League because "we are doing fine by ourselves"... Other than that, I am anticipating an uptick across the board in Registrations this year. Next week we will focus on West Plains, South Hill, and Liberty Lake... One thing to note, it's far better to have a real URL for your registration website (like http://www.westplainslittleleague.com) instead of the default Blue Sombrero/Sports Connect one that looks like this: http://leagues.bluesombreror.com/default.aspx?tabid 199267/registration etc...... those are hard for people to wrap their heads around. You can set up those URLs pretty easily, let me or Stacy know if you need help with that.

Little Help for Brochures
by J. P. 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Hi All I have brochures for Little League, sent to my by Williamsport. They would be good to set out in places where teams workout, batting cages, and indoors sports facilities. Can I get some of these to each league for distribution? The idea would be that some of you would take these and put them in the facilities within your league boundaries. These are great looking brochures/table top foldouts... Please let me know if you can distribute some and how many and I will get them to you ASAP... we need someone from every league to pick up a few and get them out in the community. PLEASE HELP! Sincerely, JP District Administrator (DA) Washington Little League - District 13 E: dadist13(a)wadist13ll.org<mailto:dadist13@wadist13ll.org> T:509-995-4200 http://www.wadist13ll.org Follow us on Facebook@wadist13ll [cid:image001.png@01DB606F.519335C0][cid:image002.jpg@01DB606F.519335C0]

Softball
by Peter Gushwa 06 Jan '25

06 Jan '25

I was wondering if you all would be willing to refer any softball players our way. If you aren't offering softball in your leagues this year, please let them know we are are offering it and are hoping to build a softball culture in Spokane. I know it's an uphill battle with the presence of Spokane Indians softball and Spokane Valley Girls Fastpitch, but if you have anyone asking please let them know we exist. Thank you in advance for your consideration on this matter! Pete Gushwa VP Softball North Spokane LL
